I haven't used the iPhone much so I can't give a good comparison to that. I came from a Treo, and have been a Palm user for about 10 years. I knew when I bought the Droid that there would be things I'd be missing that I took for granted on Palm. I was right. There are configuration options that seem to be missing completely, like the ability to order contacts by last name. I was also surprised that using an unlock pattern disabled the mute toggle on the lock screen. I also miss synchronization with my Mac. I think The Missing Sync should work on it soon, but the current prerelease does not. I agree with ckinnan that the keypad is awkward, and unlike him I have small hands. I've been using the virtual keyboard and it's been working all right. The email application does what I need it to, although you need to be able to connect to an smtp server to set it up. I use an ssh tunnel to my smtp server, so that was a problem for a bit; fortunately, ConnectBot let me set up an ssh tunnel very easily. The browser has been fine for me; much better than the Palm's. On the whole, I think it's going to be a good device. I'm looking forward to getting the SDK so I can scratch some of my itches.
